She-1 Qualifier: Jetta vs. Nicole Matthews (Special Guest Referee: Erin Angel)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This is a qualifier for the prestigious SHE-1<\/strong> <\/em>tournament, Pro Wrestling EVE’s version of NJPW<\/strong>‘s G-1 Climax<\/strong><\/em>. Jetta<\/strong>, despite only being 30, is a veteran of the UK scene. She has been wrestling since 2002 and is one of the best, both in-ring and on the microphone. She is a hated heel who normally does commentary and manages the company’s #1 heel,\u00a0Sammii Jayne<\/b>. Jetta has recently returned from injury and has not lost a step.\u00a0 Her opponent is no newbie either. Nicole Matthews<\/strong> is one of the best women’s wrestlers in North America and is a 12-year veteran. In her home promotion of\u00a0ECCW<\/strong> in Canada, she’s a 4x ECCW Women’s Champion and 3x ECCW Champion,\u00a0as well as being SHIMMER<\/strong> tag champion for a combined 973 days across two reigns and SHIMMER champion for over a year. This match features two highly decorated and talented women.\u00a0 The guest referee is Jetta’s “apprentice.”\u00a0\u00a0Erin<\/strong>\u00a0Angel<\/strong> has spent the last year being berated by the woman who beat her last May and has been on a losing streak lately.\u00a0 Will this be her chance to get some revenge on Jetta or has Jetta gotten inside her head?<\/p>\n

War Games Steel Cage: Squad Goals (Addy Starr,\u00a0Emi Sakura,\u00a0Laura Di Matteo\u00a0&\u00a0Rhia O’Reilly) vs. The Deserving (Blue Nikita,\u00a0Charli Evans,\u00a0Jamie Hayter\u00a0&\u00a0Jayla Dark)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Deserving<\/strong> are a group of girls who have decided to blame authority figure Rhia O’Reilly<\/strong> for all of their shortcomings.\u00a0 Why were they not given title shots? Why were they not in the SHE-1<\/em>? Rhia of course.\u00a0 The fact that they weren’t\u00a0winning matches means nothing to them. \u00a0Charli Evans<\/strong> and Jamie Hayter<\/strong> have been tagging for awhile and after a recent match against Addy Starr<\/strong> and Laura Di Matteo<\/strong>, left the two lying.\u00a0 On the other side of the ring, we have a team led by “Fighting Irish” Rhia O’Reilly.\u00a0 O’Reilly is a cult hero in EVE and is a pioneer of women’s wrestling in the UK and Ireland.\u00a0 On her team is friend\u00a0Emi Sakura<\/strong> and two women that want revenge in Starr and Di Matteo.\u00a0 This match has been brewing for months and it is time for the whiny girls to finally face the music as O’Reilly and co. get their hands on them.<\/p>\n

Wild Card Ladder Match Qualifying Match: Jinny\u00a0vs. Kris Wolf<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Jinny<\/strong>‘s previous qualifier was postponed due to her injury, but she is back and ready to return to action in EVE.\u00a0 Her opponent is the ultra-popular Kris Wolf<\/strong>, who is beloved all across the UK and with Japan’s Stardom<\/strong>.\u00a0 The personalities involved here could not be more different.\u00a0 Wolf is the embodiment of fun and she always has a smile on her face, while Jinny, on the other hand, visibly detests everyone and feels she is above them.\u00a0 This is the perfect clash of someone the fans love vs someone they hate and no matter who wins they will be a good addition to the ladder match.<\/p>\n

Wild Card Ladder Match: Kasey Owens\u00a0vs. Leah Owens\u00a0vs. Livvii Grace\u00a0vs. Millie McKenzie\u00a0vs. Nina Samuels vs ??<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Owens twins feature here.\u00a0 Most known for their work in\u00a0Insane Championship Wrestling<\/strong> (ICW)<\/strong>,\u00a0<\/strong>they are from Northern Ireland and despite only being 28, both are among the best in the scene.\u00a0 Livvii Grace<\/strong> is a former 3x IPW women’s champion and is the powerhouse in this match.\u00a0 She recently had the match of her career against\u00a0Jordynne<\/strong> Grace<\/strong>,\u00a0<\/strong>when the two squared off at\u00a0SHEvolution<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0\u00a0Millie McKenzie<\/strong> has gained a cult following as one of the brightest prospects in the UK – she will unleash her array of suplexes on her poor opponents in this match.\u00a0 Nina Samuels<\/strong> is the biggest heel in the match – with claims to be the “star of the BBC”, she is so arrogant that fans love it whenever anyone shuts her up.\u00a0 This ladder match will be chaotic as all six women will be vying for an all too rare title opportunity.<\/p>\n

Kay Lee Ray\u00a0vs. Meiko Satomura<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Meiko Satomura is, regardless of gender, one of the best wrestlers in Japan right now and she is up there with the legendary women of 90’s All Japan Women Promotion.\u00a0 She has been successful in the UK with\u00a0Fight Club: PRO\u00a0<\/strong>and is currently their champion<\/a>.\u00a0 Across from her is someone that helped innovate the intergender style we see in the UK today.\u00a0 At ICW’s peak, Kay Lee Ray was one of its stars because she had no fear and would fight any opponent both male and female.\u00a0 What happens when you put two legitimate badasses in a ring together? They beat the heck out of each other.\u00a0 This will be violent, it will be hard hitting and it will be awesome!<\/p>\n

Aja Kong\u00a0vs. Viper<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\n

This has the potential to be a legendary encounter.\u00a0Aja Kong is a Joshi legend and one of the greatest women to lace up a pair of boots – the brute manhandled opponents for years and had a lethal spinning back fist.\u00a0 For someone that is only 5’5, she was a very hard hitter.\u00a0 Her opponent is one of the best women’s wrestlers in the world today.\u00a0 Viper currently holds five titles from promotions all over the world.\u00a0 The Mae Young Classic<\/strong><\/em> performer and ICW star has traveled the world and put on amazing matches with so many fantastic opponents.\u00a0 This match is a very simple case of pairing two fantastic wrestlers together and just watching the magic happen at Wrestle Queendom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Pro-Wrestling<\/strong>: EVE<\/strong> Title\u00a0Match: Sammii Jayne (c) vs. Charlie Morgan\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\n
While other matches feature bigger names or look more impressive on paper, to any EVE fan this is the true main event.\u00a0 This match has been building for months.\u00a0 Ever since the Fearless “Ace of EVE” Charlie Morgan<\/strong> won the 2017 SHE-1 and earned this title opportunity, we have seen her overcome the mind games of Jayne.\u00a0 “The Main Event Empress” Sammi Jayne is despised by the EVE fans – in their eyes, she doesn’t deserve to be their champion and her personality doesn’t help one bit.\u00a0 She has held the EVE title captive for almost a year, turning away all challengers and trying to find any shortcut she can, even going so far as to attack Morgan before her SHE-1 final match.\u00a0 She has also not let Morgan live down the fact that she has been hesitant to hit her signature Suicide Spear ever since she injured herself doing it.\u00a0 By trying to take away her “fearless” moniker, she is taking away everything that Morgan stands for.\u00a0 Morgan is truly fearless – she came out without warning during a promo and was not afraid to be who she is, she’s not afraid to take any risk necessary to win, she is not afraid to jump off a balcony if it means getting the win.\u00a0 Charlie Morgan is fearless and if she can hit the Suicide Spear then she stands a chance of ending the reign of her rival Sammii Jayne.\u00a0 At Wrestle Queendom, the match every EVE fan has been waiting for finally happens.<\/div>\n

EVE is in prime position to put on one of the best wrestling shows this year.\u00a0 Two insane stipulation matches, three awesome matches featuring some of the best women’s talent in the UK taking on some of the best in the world, and a main event that echoes\u00a0Jimmy Havoc\u00a0<\/strong>vs\u00a0Will Ospreay\u00a0<\/strong>from PROGRESS<\/strong>, where one star completed their legacy and another star was born.\u00a0 Wrestle Queendom is a must-see for any fan of women’s wrestling or anyone that just wants to see a great night of action.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
